Hello? Are you paying attention? There is no witch hunt. There is no conspiracy to "get" Martin. Nobody is holding any grudges-except perhaps for Martin's continued grudge against the police department. The TRUTH is that Martin is running an ILLEGAL HANDYMAN BUSINESS and has committed several counts of OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT. The TRUTH is that Martin doesn't tell the TRUTH. In fact, we aren't sure if he can separate TRUTH from HIS LIES anymore.
Yes, the TRUTH is out there. So why do some people still believe Martin's LIES? First of all, Martin is a remarkably skilled LIAR. There are also a variety of other explanations.
- Some people are simply unwilling to admit they made a tragic mistake electing the pinheaded and pernicious Martin.
- Some people are tangled up in Martin's misconduct and feel compelled to provide cover. Perhaps they knowingly had Martin do illegal electrical or plumbing work in their home. Or, maybe Martin had given them two pay raises over the last four months. Maybe Martin is paying them an outrageous $47.50 per hour or awarded an unbid contract to their company for fire extinguishers. Heck, it might be any number of examples of soft corruption.
- Some people may actually feel sorry for Martin. They see this weaselly little guy stumbling, fumbling, mumbling and bumbling around crushing safes with a backhoes, burning and shredding truckloads of City records, wasting hundreds of thosuands of taxpayer dollars, triggering lawsuits and endorsing sexual harassment and all these big, mean councilmen are picking on him. There is a word for people who think like that. It's spelled S-T-U-P-I-D.
